Methodology

With more than 20 years of expertise in the global higher education sector, focusing on the evaluation of programs for the past 15 years, the Eduniversal Evaluation Agency has been able to establish and apply 3 core principles:

Objectivity – Independence – Transparency

Transparency of our evaluation methods and the results of rankings

with easily accessible reported methodology

with survey rules available and endorsed by all participants

with individual reports issued at the request of institutions seeking to understand their position in the rankings

Independence

from national and state structures

from media groups

supported by an International Scientific Committee, composed of 9 unpaid experts, guaranteeing the respect of our methodology

Objective of our analysis

by rating existing programs and not only those answering surveys

by not asking for any fees to participate in surveys

by referencing for free all ranked institutions and programs

by removing any link between rankings and the sale of ad space within the group’s editorial media by using an independent legal officer prior to selling ad space

While there are subtle differences between the methodologies of the different Eduniversal rankings, there are certain criterias that remain constant across all rankings. With more of a focus on market conditions rather than strict academic criteria, our rankings assess the:

Reputation of programs

Salaries and professional opportunities after graduating

Satisfaction rating of participants

Various bonus points are added to these three criteria

02 - Data analysis

At the end of each Eduniversal survey, the results are carefully analyzed by our teams. The relevance of data provided by program participants is verified. People who have not participated in the programs but who but are well recognized take part in a parallel survey conducted by our consultants.

03 - Filing with an independent legal officer and publication

Once the calculations are completed and the ratings determined, the rankings are filed with an independent legal officer and can no longer be modified. The ranked programs are then rapidly informed of their status in the rankings.

The rankings may then be viewed on a dedicated website.
